Light On Dark Water

This is just a quick note during a break in a software training session: the Philippine Islands, already hit by serious flooding from a tropical storm last week, are now facing the possibility of a major disaster from a Katrina-class storm. See here and here. Please pray for the Philippines, for our friend antiaphrodite, and for her family.

Update: Current tracking maps show Typhoon Parma coming ashore on the northern end of the Philippines early Sunday morning. I assume that’s local time, which would be Saturday afternoon in the U.S. Currently it is what we would call a category 5 hurricane, which is the most severe. It looks like Manila and the whole north end of the main island will get a whole lot of rain no matter what. But if it turns to the north the wind and surge damage could be a lot less. So pray.

UPDATE 2: Thanks be to God. It looks like they were spared the worst.

UPDATE 3: But not completely out of the woods.
